February 2026 Real Estate Market Update
|
|
| DOWNING-FRYE: BEST JANUARY IN FOUR YEARS
“We just concluded a very busy January for pending sales,” said Mike Hughes, General Manager for Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. “It was the best January for sales in the last four years with 173 pending sales turned in to our company. This represented a 33% increase in pending sales contracts over last January. Equally impressive was the increase in pending sales above one million in price. We had 54 of these high-end pending sales compared to 35 in January of 2025.
“2026 is off to a great start. With the increase in showings, the Realtor community is very optimistic as we head into the busy part of our winter season. Mortgage interest rates have been hanging in the low ‘6’ range and that is helping buyers who are looking to finance their purchase. The winter visitors are here and we couldn’t be happier!”
BONITA / ESTERO: STRONG BUYER MOMENTUM
The Bonita Springs-Estero Realtors reported that December 2025 closed out with stronger buyer momentum heading into peak season. Single-family posted 1,632 closed sales (+18.4%) and 1,720 pending (+35.2%) with a $460,000 median price (+2.2%); inventory fell to 11,060 (-6.6%) and months of supply improved to about 6.8 (down from roughly 8.6 last year). Condo/townhouse activity was also stronger: 811 closed (+26.3%) and 892 pending (+37.7%)-though pricing softened to a $355,000 median (-6.6%), with inventory near flat at 7,409 (+0.5%) and months of supply around 9.1 (down from roughly 11.5). Land remained the most buyer-leaning segment, with 395 closings (-38.3%) alongside inventory growth to 7,646 (+11.3%), pushing months of supply to about 19.4 (up sharply from roughly 10.7).
NAPLES AREA: STABILITY & CONFIDENCE
The Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®) reported December 2025 figures as compared to December 2024: Total closed sales were up by 28.8% and pending sales were up by 12.5%. New listings were down by 19%, and total active listings were down by 3.8%. Single-family listings totaled 2,626 and condominium listings totaled 3,088. Single-family closed sales were up by 29.3% and had a median closed sales price of $750,000, down 2%. Condominium closed sales were up by 28.4% and had a median closed sales price of $435,000, down 2.8% from December 2024. The overall median closed price of condominiums in December decreased 2.8% to $435,000 from $447,500 in December 2024. Closed sales of properties over $5million increased 16.6% during 2025.
MARCO ISLAND AREA: SALES UP
The Marco Island Area Assoc. of Realtors® reported December 2025 figures as compared to December 2024: Inventory was down 4%; the number of properties sold was up by 27%; the average days on market was 99 days, down by 51%; and the dollar volume sold was $97M, up 45% from the year before. In December, the median sales price for homes was $1.66M, for condos was $785K and for lots was $463K.
FLORIDA: SALES, UP; PRICES, STABLE
Florida Realtors reported that in December 2025, inventory of single-family homes for sale stood at a 4.6-months’ supply, while inventory for condo- townhouse properties was at an 8.8-months’ supply. Also, closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 22,007, up 5.9% from December 2024, while existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 7,911, up 10.4%. The statewide median sales price for single- family existing homes in December was $415,000, the same as the previous year, and for condo-townhouse units was $310,000, down 1.6%.
USA: PENDING SALES DECREASE
Pending home sales in December decreased by 9.3% from the prior month and 3.0% year over year. “The housing sector is not out of the woods yet,” said NAR Chief Economist Lawrence Yun. “After several months of encouraging signs in pending contracts and closed sales, the December new contract figures have dampened the short-term outlook. Consumers prefer seeing abundant inventory before making the major decision of purchasing a home. In December there were only 1.18 million homes on the market – matching the lowest inventory level of 2025.”

Florida’s 2025 Housing Market Ends on Positive Trends
Marla Martin
Florida Realtors: Single-family home sales were up 0.9% YoY, median prices were stabilizing and inventory levels suggested a return to normal season patterns.
|
|
|
As 2025 came to a close, Florida’s housing market showed positive momentum, with closed sales of existing single-family homes up year-over-year, inventory (active listings) levels suggesting a return to normal seasonal patterns, and stabilizing statewide median prices, according to the latest housing data released by Florida Realtors®.
Year end 2025
Florida Realtors Chief Economist Dr. Brad O’Connor said, “While 2025 started much like 2024 and 2023, with sales falling and inventories rising, things changed midway through the year. Along with a continued slowdown in growth in homeowner insurance premiums, mortgage rates fell by more than half a percentage point in the waning months of the year, and as a result, sales really responded here in the Sunshine State.”
“2025 brought Florida a stronger, more sustainable housing market – and that’s a win for consumers,” said 2026 Florida Realtors President Chuck Bonfiglio, broker-owner of AAA Realty Group in Plantation. “Buyers have more homes to choose from, sellers are seeing steady demand, and prices are reaching a healthier range. Now and throughout the year, working with a Realtor® across Florida offers the local insight and guidance that can help you turn today’s market into a real opportunity for your future.”
Statewide closed sales of existing single-family homes at the end of the year totaled 255,012, up 0.9% compared to the 2024 year-end level, according to data from Florida Realtors’ research department in partnership with local Realtor boards/associations. For existing condo-townhouses, a total of 88,793 units sold statewide in 2025, down 5.9% compared to 2024. Closed sales may occur from 30- to 90-plus days after sales contracts are written.
O’Connor noted that a streak of higher pending sales of single-family homes over the past few months helped boost closed sales and end-of-year transactions. New pending sales of single-family homes at year’s end were up 1.9% compared to the end of 2024. Meanwhile, new pending sales of condo-townhouse properties were down 4.6% at the end of 2025 compared to 2024.
“December marked the fifth straight month where new pending sales of single-family homes increased on a year-over-year basis, with 5.4% more homes going under contract than in the same month the previous year,” he said. “That’s easily the longest streak we’ve seen since the 11-month streak that began in February of 2021, at the height of the pandemic housing boom. Predictably, this led to a multi-month streak of positive growth for closed sales of single-family homes, as well.
In the condo and townhouse category, O’Connor said that sales declines have been steeper than in the single-family category in recent years – particularly due to the gradual introduction of safety regulations and reserve requirements beginning in 2022. While these regulations improve the safety of condo buildings, like any regulations, they do come at a cost, he noted.
“And as was the case for single-family homes, closed sales of condos and townhouses ended the year with a four-month positive growth streak that culminated in December, with closed condo-townhome sales up by 10.4% compared to the same month in 2024,” O’Connor said. “However, unlike what we saw with single-family homes, this late-year growth in condo and townhouses sales wasn’t enough to compensate for the declines earlier in 2025 in terms of end-of-year transactions.”
The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes at year’s end was $413,990, down 1.4% from the previous year. The statewide median price for condo-townhouse properties at the end of 2025 was $310,000, down 4.7% at year’s end 2024. The median is the midpoint; half the homes sold for more, half for less.
Florida Realtors’ data showed that at the end of 2025, in December 2025 and also in 4Q 2025, inventory (active listings) for single-family homes stood at a 4.6-months’ supply, while inventory for condo-townhouse properties was at an 8.8-months’ supply.
December 2025
In December, closed sales of single-family homes statewide totaled 22,007, up 5.9% from December 2024, while existing condo-townhouse sales totaled 7,911, up 10.4% year-over-year, according to Florida Realtors’ data.
The statewide median sales price for single-family existing homes in December was $415,000, the same as the previous year. Meanwhile, the statewide median price for condo-townhouse units was $310,000, down 1.6% over the year-ago figure.
4Q 2025
Statewide closed sales of existing single-family homes totaled 60,872 in 4Q 2025, up 7.7% compared to the previous-year figure, according to Florida Realtors’ data. The statewide median sales price for existing single-family homes for the quarter was $413,000, down slightly (0.5%) from 4Q 2024.
Looking at Florida’s year-to-year comparison for sales of condo-townhouses in 4Q 2025, a total of 21,233 units sold statewide, up 7.9% from the same quarter in 2024. The statewide median price for condo-townhouse properties for the quarter was $300,000, down 4.8% over the previous year.
Closing out 2025
According to O’Connor, the annual dollar volume of single-family sales increased in 2025 – rising by 2% to $154.6 billion – though in reality, inflation dampened the impact.
“Nominally, that’s the third-highest total for this category in the history of our data series, which extends back to 2008,” he noted. “That said, inflation was above 2% in 2025, so in real terms, single-family dollar volume actually declined but only very slightly – by less than 1%. And that still puts 2025’s single-family dollar volume very much on par with that of three of the previous five years.”
Looking at the closed condo and townhouse sales, the statewide annual dollar volume took a hit in 2025, not only due to the decline in sales, but also from mildly lower sale prices, O’Connor said. “As a result, that dollar volume for closed condo-townhouse sales, at $40.6 billion, was down by 8.5% for the year – and down by10.5% with inflation factored in,” he said.

December Home Sales Shows Market Confidence & Stability
Overall closed sales in Naples during December increased 28.8 percent to 773 closed sales from 600 closed sales in December 2024. Broker analysts reviewing the December 2025 Market Report by the Naples Area Board of REALTORS® (NABOR®), which tracks home listings and sales within Collier County (excluding Marco Island), have been watching closed sales improve for seven months consistently. They believe the increase in sales is largely due to sellers being more willing to negotiate. Adjustments in prices – as a result of seller flexibility – effected a 2.5 percent decrease in the overall median closed price in 2025; and a 5 percent decrease in December to $570,000 from $600,000 in December 2024.
|
|
| With 8.3 months of inventory available to buyers heading into 2026, broker analysts are cautiously optimistic that closed sales will continue to increase as our transition to a more balanced market is ideal for homes sales in Naples.
Paradise Preferred
“While the median closed price decreased in 2025, the average closed price increased 4.5 percent,” said Jillian Young, President, Premiere Plus Realty, “This is because we are seeing a shift in the mix of product that is in demand today.” A higher volume of high-end, luxury property sales has driven up the average price and conversely, a higher volume of sales in lower-priced, more affordable properties has exerted downward pressure on the median price.
Sales in the Naples luxury home market – $1.5 million+ – continue to outpace closed sales activity in other price categories. Most remarkable, the December report showed closed sales of properties over $5 million increased 16.6 percent during 2025.
Carrie Lademan, Senior Regional Vice President of Sales for William Raveis Real Estate, remarked that the report also showed “closed sales increased 52.3 percent in the Naples Beach area [34102, 34103 & 34108] during December, even as this area’s median closed price increased 15 percent.”
According to the report, overall pending sales increased 12.5 percent in December to 704 pending sales from 626 pending sales in December 2024.
“We had almost the exact number of pending sales in 2025 as we did in 2024 [10,178 vs. 10,090],” said Mike Hughes, Vice President and General Manager for Downing-Frye Realty, Inc. “But if you look at the number of pendings [10,178] compared to closings [8,249] in 2025, you can see that there were still a considerable number of sales that fell through. Sellers need to be aware of this because if a buyer comes back with a request, it may be in the seller’s favor to address their request and negotiate rather than allow the deal to fall through.”
Overall inventory during December decreased 3.8 percent to 5,714 properties from 5,938 properties in December 2024. Inventory in December decreased the most in the 34116 zip code, 30.1 percent. This area also reported the highest closed sales for the month, a 155.6 percent increase.
Condo Grab
Despite reports of rising association fees, buyers were especially active in the under $300,000 condominium market last year. Lademan noted that, “The report showed closed sales increased 56.6 percent in the under $300,000 condominium market during 2025.”
While the number of properties available under $300,000 has slowly declined in the last few years, the December Market Report showed the inventory of condominiums under $300,000 has been on the rise, leading to a 28.4 percent increase in closed sales of condominiums in this price category for December. Overall inventory in the condominium market in December increased 1.2 percent to 3,088 condominiums from 3,050 condominiums. An increase in condominium sales is anticipated in the first quarter of 2026 because condominium inventory under $300,000 increased 47.5 percent in December.
The NABOR® December 2025 Market Report provides comparisons of single-family home and condominium sales (via the Southwest Florida MLS), price ranges, and geographic segmentation and includes an overall market summary. NABOR® sales statistics are presented in chart format, including these overall (single-family and condominium) findings for 2025:

| New Conversations
According to Christine Citrano, NABOR® President and agent for John R. Wood Properties, “The December report showed an 11.1 percent increase in closed sales of homes with four bedrooms or more. I’m also seeing more people buy larger-sized properties with growing interest in multi-generational housing.”
In response, Cindy Carroll of Carroll & Carroll Appraisers & Consultants, LLC., replied “The December report shows great stability in the market. But it’s not the same market we had 20 years ago. Now the focus is on properties east of Airport Road; particularly in Golden Gate Estates area [east of 951], where we are seeing a whole new world emerge. This is a great target for those looking to build or buy multi- generational homes.”
“There were almost 200 more closed sales in December 2019 than in December 2025,” said Ryan Bleggi, 2022 NABOR® President. “But the median closed price has almost doubled since then. As Cindy points out, it is a new world now where more and more of Naples is becoming a luxury home market destination.”
According to several broker analysts reviewing the December report, conversations in 2026 will look much different than in previous years because last year proved hurricanes are not an annual threat, insurance rates are now more competitive – Citizens Property Insurance Corporation, a not-for-profit insurer of last resort that was created by the Florida Legislature in 2002, just lowered its rates – and mortgage rates hovering around 6 percent are increasingly considered the new normal and will likely remain for the immediate future.
Young concluded that “sellers who have achieved healthy equity or might be able to transfer a low mortgage rate to a new buyer should consider reducing their asking price because competition typically increases during winter season and homes priced to sell rise to the top.” |
